I'm irked that it seems like you cannot use keywords as module names. Say if one were writing a compiler for the next big language in D, then it would be reasonable to expect that you could have a D source file called scope.d, module.d etc. Unfortunately as a consequence of this you cannot write (with DMD 1 compiler at least) import nextBigLanguage.scope; import nextBigLanguage.module; Maybe there is some work-around but, even if there is a work-around, for something like this, it is not nice. -- Justin Johansson
